The world needs room temperature superconductors, yet here we are.

May I ask how room temperature superconductors make the world a better place or help fighting hunger?

And what do room temperature superconductors have to do with art?

Many many applications.

But cheap highspeed trains (floating on magnetic fields) come to mind as a means of easy transporation around the world.

Oh, and less food waste and global inequality definitely cures hunger better than room temparature superconductors.
